We were warned about the wolf in sheep’s clothing in 2007. The predictions: sale of Crown corporations, privatization of health care, an allegation Brad Wall was too close to then-prime minister Stephen Harper.

How accurate were these ads? Has Wall sold off multiple liquor stores, privatized the Information Services Corp. and jail food services? Yes.

What about the allegation Wall was too close to Harper? One needs only look at Wall’s flip-flop on equalization. When the Liberals were in power, Wall was ferocious about equalization. Yet when the Harper government was in charge, Wall abandoned litigation he’d previously supported.

It looks like the wolf’s head has chewed through the sheep suit and the 2007 NDP was right all along. Unfortunately, it missed out on predicting shady land deals and hiding just how far in debt the Sask. Party would take this province. How much more damage are we going to let him do before we toss him out?
